(Okay, okay, not a "real" barrister, as straight out of law school he became a barrister for his daddy's trade union! Nobody else - especially someone using their own money - has <i>ever</i> instructed him to act for them.)<br /><br />The Live-Export industry hasn't been restarted, and won't restart. A (very) few cattle have been exported, however the latest announcement by the Indonesian govt is that the most they will take is half the number they used to. This announcement is effectively Indonesian law.<br /><br />Not only must the government wear blame, but every journalist, activist, AND organisation who had a hand in it.<br /><br />I've already had the pleasure of giving an earful to, & seeing off, an RSPCA can-rattler.<br /><br />For another puzzling response, see the QandA episode shot late last year in Darwin. One of the panellists (I think the NT opposition leader) stated that cattle deaths at sea on live export ships are at a lower rate than the death rate at sea of P&O cruise line passengers.<br /><br />Inexplicably (to me) Tony Jones became quite dark at this, & announced that there'd be "none of this sort of talk" on his show.<br /><br />Is it that he is so unprofessional that he is unable to allow an objective panel discussion on a 4corners topic that his wife worked on? But it seemed more than that. As if it was blasphemy to challenge his conventional wisdom of: "live export, bad - banning live export, good"<br /><br />I thought the "P&O" observation was a corker, a very effective one liner.<br /><br />I used to think Tony Jones was a biased but well-meaning lightweight who didn't know any better.<br />I now think he is of malignant character, and it is repugnant that he holds Australian citizenship that he does not deserve.Steve at the Pubhttp://www.the-public-house.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-33378192947553658572012-01-03T05:41:01.411+10:002012-01-03T05:41:01.411+10:00Their ABC is still boasting that they fixed* the e...Their ABC is still boasting that they fixed* the evil cattle industry with their 4-Corners programme.<br />The ABC must certainly take the credit for starting that fix, because the fixed* cattle industry would still be thriving if the "exposé" had not been broadcast.<br /><br />*Readers can replace "fixed" with another "f" word of their choice.Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372213190811407871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-10231110756823325662012-01-02T12:08:10.062+10:002012-01-02T12:08:10.062+10:00Stacks
The ban on live cattle exports to Indonesi...Stacks<br /><br />The ban on live cattle exports to Indonesia was a stupid reaction with no forethought and Ludwig was called a fool for the damage it would do to Australian graziers who rely on these exports for their businesses.<br /><br />News that Indonesia is going to cut back on live cattle imports from Australia was briefly covered then seemed to be subsumed by other "news".<br /><br />The live cattle industry will be hit for six by this, though it seems that this result is the desired one by Greens and bunny huggers without a clue as to how people live in other countries and what type of infrastructure they have and the need for live meat imports into these countries.<br /><br />Better that humans suffer than any beast or tree.<br /><br />The denizens of the ALP in the main have no experience in buisiness, or even the real world, and I wonder how they manage to conduct their own lives without finding themselves in the poor house - although on the taxpayer teat (or union member teat, depending on whether the ALP member has risen to parliament or is just pretending until they get the "job for the boys"), seems to provide them with an endless supply of lucre to waste and they seem to be hell bent on keeping that source of income open, and to hell with Australia and Australians.kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-88509002724681597612012-01-02T11:56:34.267+10:002012-01-02T11:56:34.267+10:00kae, this sort of thing comes about because we hav...kae, this sort of thing comes about because we have ex union officials with no real life or business experience elected to parliament, who then become ministers.<br /><br />They still harbour the old feeling that the employers are always wrong and can afford any losses.<br /><br />Mark AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-69238643512064829972012-01-02T11:49:50.578+10:002012-01-02T11:49:50.578+10:00kae
